    This pizza hits the spot! It is a fairly small neighborhood restaurant. NY style pizza that's cheesy and they don't skimp on toppings. The pizza is delicious and toppings fresh. Their cheese sticks are just the best!! I like the way it's prepared with less bread and more cheese lol. The service is friendly. I'm happy to find this place nearby and look forward to grabbing pizza when the craving hits rather than at one of the chains that taste like cardboard.

    Love that you can customize your own slice of pizza instead of buying a whole pizza. It's great for those who likes a variety or jus grabbing a quick lunch. Their pizza crust is really nice and crispy. I also had their cheese sticks which is mozzarella cheese melt on top. It goes well with their marinara sauce.

    This place is family owned and operated, which makes it that much better! I'm pretty sure the daughter works the front and her brother is the pizza maker. Obviously if I'm talking about the family... the service is amazing! One bite everyone knows the rules, AMAZING, 9.1! I'm pretty sure the president himself would give this over 8.0 rating. I forgot about this place for 5x years and it's instantly my favorite pizza place.

    I love finding hidden gems and I feel like Local Slice counts as one. Come here for their $8.50 lunch special which includes two thin crust slices (with a free standard topping) and a drink. What a bargain!

    I've come here here a couple of times since my first visit a few weeks. This is some consistently good pizza with good service too. I work nearby and I was looking for a pizza spot this place popped up with great reviews on Yelp and Google. Local Slice promised NY Style Pizza. I'm originally from Brooklyn so I already know what authentic NY pizza should tastes like. However they were on spot! From the moment I walked in the pizza shop, I was greeted. I let them know it was my first and they gave me the run down. I ordered an 18 inch pepperoni pizza the first time and a pepperoni calzone. The reviews had mentioned how awesome the calzone was and they didn't lie. The calzone was very delicious! And the pizza sauce was flavorful. I highly recommend it. Now to the star of the show, the pizza! It is very good. Ive got this spot into my rotation when I want NY style pizza. The dough is thin, the cheese is scrumptious, the consistency is good. One time it was too salty but that was a one off. You can't go wrong with the pizza here. I did try the the wings but they're weren't as mind blowing as the pizza and the calzone. You can pass on those in my opinion unless you really got a wing craving, because they're just average. Definitely check out Local Slice II. The parking lot is small just be aware of that during busy times.

    5 Hour Hawaiian Pizza
    Katie R.

    I don't know how I haven't heard of this place before! Ive lived 5 minutes from here for the past 2.5 years and wouldn't have ever known it was there if not for a desperate "pizza near me" Google search! Ordered 18 inch 5 hour Hawaiian takeaway. Order was ready very quickly. Mind was blown at size of pizza! Great value. I didn't add on ranch when I ordered but changed my mind when I arrived and I'm glad I did! Great ranch. So the pizza was floppy, cheesy, and greasy. All great things IMO in a NY pizza. I did find myself wishing I'd gotten pepperoni instead for a more authentic experience, but I was happy with our pizza overall. The pork was delicious, very flavorful and they were generous with it. Delicious, I will absolutely return here! Calzone was $7.75 I believe so I'll be back to try that as well!

    Terrific lunch special that hasn't changed in a couple of years: 2 slices and a drink or one slice, salad, and a drink. The slices are topped with your choice of toppings, and I've never been disappointed with how they turn out. Something terrific is that their drink fountain is all Main Root sodas--nice change from standard soda fare. This is a small location, so if there's a lunch rush, there will be a line, and you'll wait a while for your food to be ready. But your pizza will be fresh and hot. Fair trade off. As for their other menu items, I can't speak to them. I'm a lunchtime special gal.

    This is more of a to go kinda place, but there are a few tables in this small space to sit (22 seating spots altogether). There's even a TV in the corner. You definitely get a lot of pizza for 20 bucks but my only complaint is that it was a bit too salty. The calzone was also worth the seven dollars and was larger than I expected. If you're dining in or picking up with a credit card, this business tries to put a little more money in its employees pockets with the "how much do you wanna tip" screen which now seems to be the new norm. Definitely a great place for decent quality pizza at a great value.

This was so good, I'm not really a pizza person and honestly only came because of the great reviews. Well, I was wrong, this is the best pizza I've ever had I'm usually keto, so I normally don't eat the crust edge. But this time, I actually ate the crust first before getting to the toppings. It's thin, crunchy, and has such a great texture and flavor. I finished the slice right away and forgot to take a picture. I also ordered the Garlic Knots. They come four to an order, but I wasn't sure I wanted that many. Kat told me I could order just one, which was really nice. Unfortunately, this one wasn't my favorite, a little too doughy for me. And then there was the Tiramisu. Wow! It's so good, not overly sweet like other tiramisu and the texture is light, fluffy, and smooth. They were busy during my visit, but the service was still great. Kat was friendly and made my first visit a really enjoyable one. Definitely coming back if I visit Austin again

My daughter ordered the stuffed crust pizza, which is filled with ricotta cheese. It was her first time trying ricotta, and unfortunately, it wasn't her favorite. I built my own pizza with Italian sausage, onions, and fresh basil, and I highly recommend adding the garlic butter, it was the perfect finishing touch and added so much flavor. Overall, the pizza was good, and the friendly service made the experience even better. While it wasn't quite the style of pizza I'd personally rave about, I can absolutely see why so many people enjoy it. If you're visiting Austin and looking for authentic Neapolitan-style pizza, Desano is definitely worth trying.

The other issue which I hope they take note and move right away is the trash for plates and silverware. It is directly next to the fresh silverware and takeout boxes. That caught my attention and it's not a good place for the trash. Definitely plan to come back, it is worth coming and trying all the food items they have.

I've spent my life chasing the perfect crust, comparing everything from the legendary pie shops in Manhattan to the pristine corner slices in Pittsburgh. I didn't think Austin could pull off truly authentic pizza. I was dead wrong. Baldinucci is absolute sorcery. The moment I took a bite of their Roman-style pizza, I was instantly thrown back to the tiny, narrow pizzerias I stumbled into in Italy. It has that exact, hyper-specific airy crunch that is so incredibly hard to replicate outside of Europe. The dough is clearly fermented with patience. It's light, shatteringly crisp on the bottom, and has those beautiful, irregular air pockets that give it a pillowy structure without ever feeling heavy. Let's talk about the sauce, because that's where most places fail. It isn't that sugary, paste-heavy stuff you find at standard joints. It is vibrant, bright, and tastes intensely of sun-ripened tomatoes and clean olive oil. It is remarkably fresco; striking that perfect balance where the acidity cuts through the richness of the cheese without overwhelming the palate. The vibe inside the West Lake spot is casual and unpretentious, but they take their craft seriously. Food service is streamlined and efficient; you order at the counter, and they pop the slices back into the oven so they land at your table screaming hot. The staff is genuinely proud of what they're slinging, and they should be. If you are an East Coast transplant drowning in a sea of mediocre pies, do yourself a favor and get over to West Lake. It's the real deal. PS: The gelato flavors are also sorcery. However, a review of their gelato is for another time. I must continue to savor the pie for now.
